At not yet one and twenty, Emma Poundstone, a proper young lady from the Cotswolds has fled to London’s barbarous East End to escape the hideous future her disreputable uncle has concocted. Alone and near destitute, she seeks to sell her last item of value – her father’s snuff box. But that single act of desperation leads her to a fateful choice between virtue and practicality that threatens to alter all she has held true about love.
Giles Fairmarch, Duke of Wexham, is firmly convinced that love only brings misery, so he conducts his life in a manner guaranteeing its avoidance. But on one fateful day, a bedraggled creature catches his attention as she passes him on a London sidewalk. And when he follows her into a jeweler’s and impulsively buys the snuff box she seeks to sell, he starts down a road he has vowed never to travel.
Emma’s beauty, vivaciousness and innocence rattle the rakish Duke to his core and he gladly awakens her to the thrills of shared passion. But can he have all he craves from her without offering up the love he so distains?
